Kalamazoo - I learned several good things today. The "Reading, Writing, Spelling and Math Solutions: Virtual Literacy for Adult Ed and Literacy Programs" part 2 left me with scads of computer-based resouces that could be useful, especially with next year's ABE students.
These sites looked intriguing: e-text reader at e-text reader, free text reader at free text reader, EZC Reader: Reading Strips at EZC Reader reading strips, Inspiration (which we should have at school already) Inspiration for a free tour or Inspiration home page, dictation software Dragon Naturally Speaking, TextHelp! at text Help, WordSmith - Literacy products at the same site as TextHelp!, and digital audio products at Digital Audio Products. I also found a possible site for grant funding to help our at-risk and economically disadvantaged students at the National Christina Foundation at National Cristina foundation.
I can see how some of these products could help our daytime students, the ABE students and our adult ESL students. I will have to investigate them more when I get back home. There is also a site listing audio recordings of books, including textbooks at audio books.
